Not a full breakup (yet), but: between mass firings & increasing bugs, security concerns, rising hate speech, & Ukraine's country code being removed from 2FA...

A brief return to Twitter to update my poll-takers:
1) the IRS had my refund to me in <2 wks
2) I received my @UCSC reimbursement on Wed June 28, 146 days after request
3) the holdup for the >$1k refund was confusion about a $5.72 bagel. (& yes, the receipt WAS itemized!)

Happy #WorldOrganoidResearchDay 🎉 @IBSC_UCSC IRACDA Fellow & @braingeneers member @jess7son is using #BrainOrganoids to uncover how genetic changes enhanced the human brain's computing capacity during primate evolution 🙉 Learn about the Braingeneers: braingeneers.ucsc.edu

-Classes cannot teach "unproven theories" (aimed at humanities but will affect sciences)
-Faculty jobs in the hands of trustees (I have issues w/ the tenure system but this doesn't solve them, just makes things worse)
-NO taking grants w/ DEI component (most NSF/NIH $$)
A quick #academicWriting reminder that Oxford Commas are worth the space they take up.
They make things easier to understand for your reviewers, undergrads and internet randos. (SWIDT?)

Hey #ScienceTwitter , I'm running my first set of interviews for grad school candidates this year.
Any tips on good questions to ask, things to look for / look out for, best practices for being equitable when evaluating candidates, etc?

“High-density recordings for long-term electrophysiology in developing brain organoids with automated fluidics platform integration.” @jess7son of the wonderfully named Braingeneers lab @ucsc, detailed their open-source reproducible microfluidic platform for feeding #organoids
